Tattoos and the IFBB

[Shaun0310]

i never said it was the sole reason. also i didnt make a thread called "what do you guys think the chances are that i could ever possibly be an IFBB pro". i really dont care about other peoples expectations for me. just would like to know if that possibility exists.

Not being a bummer. Just reality. You dont have what it takes. People realize the gift as soon they pick up a set of weights. Takes genetics/response to gear etc. Your 24 and u dont even look like you lift just judging by your avi. Dont be a troll on these boards please . Have a good day christopher.

LOOLL man, I'm just sayin'.

Don't shoot the messenger.

I'm not hating at all, it's just that we're talking IFBB pro cards here. Not college diplomas or drivers licenses.

Do you have a college degree? Because those aren't given out for free either... just sayin

Your being a douche...who made you the talent recruit for the IFBB? Judging by your avi I'm sure this dude has size on you.

Was it T-Nation when a young Brandon Curry who know one ever heard off, said he wanted to be an IFBB pro, and everyone laughed him off?

Ya I think it was T-nation

At the Tampa pro which had plenty of almost top tier pros. I saw at least 7 of them with tattoos. There were more than that.

I looked into this before I got mine, and there are creams available that can cover tattoos. Lee Priest did a guest posing at last year's Australia Grand Prix (at least I think it was last year's) and his facial tattoo was covered. I don't know if it was such a cream or just make-up, but it is possible to cover them.

You have a little gay leaf on your back......hardly noticeable. Won't show at all. Will you ever compete?
Oh wait, I'm on ignore...my bad.

You can also buy Kat Von D's Tattoo concealer at any local clinque store if this is a concern for you.

I think the OP retired already.

This thread is full of so much chit it's not even funny. Everyone has different reasons for why they do something, it's not anyones place to judge them or think they are above them in anyway for whatever reason. If he wants to try and go pro then why even consider trying to bring him down? Because his reasons are different form yours to live the 'bodybuilder lifestyle'? It's very rarely I come on the ifbb sub forum and something someone says doesn't piss me off, this forum is worse than the misc for people with far to much opinion

Way late to the game but, OP, My uncle was short, small, and bullied. He became one of the early greats of bodybuilding despite his apparent size. Right now hes over 70 and still preacher curling 60's.

John Decola. Look him up.

Genes are a great thing, but even decent genes with supps and hard work will get you to your day dream if you want it badly enough.

Tattoos or not, you cant listen to these clowns who are telling you youll never do something. Not that you need to hear this from a stranger. Just my 2 cents.

Do work.

Really didn't get the point of the post.

Tattoos are a disadvantage on a bodybuilding stage.
